DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] It is to be noted that the embodiments of the disclosure and the characteristics in the embodiments can be combined under the condition of no conflicts. The disclosure is described below with reference to the drawings and the embodiments in detail.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the knotter of the embodiments includes: a driving structure 10, a punching and shearing clip 20 and scissor 30. A clip mouth 21 of the punching and shearing clip 20 has a first position in an open state, and a second position in a punching state when driven by the driving structure 10. The scissor 30 has a first position in an open state when driven by the driving structure 10, and a second position in a shearing state when driven by the driving structure 10. The second position of the scissor 30 is synchronized with the second position of the punching and shearing clip 20.

[0025] Through disclosure of the technical solutions of the embodiment, when knotting a suture line, the driving structure 10 of the knotter drives the punching and shearing clip 20 to punch the clamping element 100, thereby knotting the suture line, and at the same time, the driving structure 10 drives the scissor 30 to be in the shearing state, so that the scissor 30 may cut the knotted suture line. The scissor 30 is in the open state and the shearing state when driven by the driving structure 10, and the structure is stable and reliable. The technical solution of the embodiment effectively solves the problem that the shearing knife of the knotter in the related art is unstable when cutting the suture line.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 3, in the technical solution of the embodiment, a first end of the scissor 30 cooperates with the driving structure 10, and cutting edges 32 of the scissor 30 is located at a second end of the scissor 30. The scissor of the above structure is relatively low in processing cost and convenient to use. It is to be noted that the cutting edges 32 of the scissor 30 here are located at the second end of the scissor 30, the second end does not just indicate an end part and may indicate a partial area between the second end of the scissor 30 and the first end of the scissor 30, for example, the area from the pivot shaft 31 to the second end of the scissor 30 in FIG. 3 may be the cutting edges 32 entirely or may be the cutting edges 32 partially.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in the technical solution of the embodiment, the scissor 30 include a first scissor arm 33 and a second scissor arm 34, middle parts of the first scissor arm 33 and the second scissor arm 34 are connected by a pivot shaft 31, and the driving structure 10 cooperates with a first end of the first scissor arm 33 and a first end of the second scissor arm 34. When the first end of the first scissor arm 33 is close to a second end of the second scissor arm 34, a second end of the first scissor arm 33 is close to the second scissor arm 34. The above structure is relatively low in processing cost, easy to mount and convenient to operate. Alternatively, the scissor 30 may be structured such that the first end of the first scissor arm 33 and the first end of the second scissor arm 34 are connected and form the pivot shaft 31.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the technical solution of the embodiment, the scissor 30 is located at one side of the punching and shearing clip 20 and arranged adjacent to the punching and shearing clip 20. In this way, the distance between the scissor 30 and the punching and shearing clip 20 is relatively short, that is to say, the reserved length of the suture line is relatively short. After the suture line is clamped by a clamping element 100 and knotted, the suture line reserved from the clamping element 100 is the distance from the punching and shearing clip 20 to the scissor 30. Particularly, the punching and shearing clip 20 is located at a left side, and the scissor 30 is located at the right side of the punching and shearing clip 20.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the technical solution of the embodiment, the driving structure 10 includes a driving rod 12, and a first end of the driving rod 12 cooperates with both the punching and shearing clip 20 and the scissor 30. The above structure is relatively low in processing cost. The punching and shearing clip 20 includes two clip arms which are oppositely arranged, and a first end of the driving rod 12 enables the punching and shearing clip 20 to punch the clamping element 100 through punching and shearing clip arms, thereby knotting. Particularly, a first side part 121 of the first end of the driving rod 12 has scissor arm holes 11 which cooperate with the scissor 30, and the first end of the scissor 30 is located in the scissor arm holes 11. The above structure is compact, and punching and shearing can be completed through the same driving rod 12. When the middle parts of the first scissor arm 33 and the second scissor arm 34 of the scissor 30 have the pivot shaft, the scissor arm holes 11 include a first scissor arm hole 111 and a second scissor arm hole 112, a first scissor arm 33 of the scissor 30 is located in the first scissor arm hole 111, and a second scissor arm 34 of the scissor 30 is located in the second scissor arm hole 112. A second side of the driving rod 12 and a first side of the driving rod 12 are of a stepped structure, and the second side of the driving rod 12 is shorter than the first side of the driving rod 12. The driving rod 12 is a solid rod, the first scissor arm hole 111 and the second scissor arm hole 112 are respectively formed in oblique holes which cooperate with the first scissor arm 33 and the second scissor arm 34, and the first scissor arm hole 111 and the second scissor arm hole 112 are through holes which penetrate through a side wall of the driving rod 12 from the first end of the driving rod 12.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 2, in the technical solution of the embodiment, a second side part 122 of the first end of the driving rod 12 has a punching and shearing clip abutting pressure plate 13 which cooperates with the punching and shearing clip 20. The above structure is simple, and the knotting effect is good. Particularly, a bulged structure is arranged on an inner wall of the punching and shearing clip 20, in this way, the clamping element 100 is better in clamping effect, and the suture line is not easy to run out. The clamping element 100 is a clamping nail. The suture line enters through the entrance hole 50 on the left side of the clamping element 100. The suture line runs out of the sleeve 40 through the outlet hole 51.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the technical solution of the embodiment, the knotter further includes a handle and a sleeve 40, a first end of the sleeve 40 is connected with the handle, the scissor 30 and the punching and shearing clip 20 are located at a second end of the sleeve 40, and the driving rod 12 is located in the sleeve 40. The second end of the driving rod 12 is connected with the handle. The above structure is convenient to operate and is compact in structure. The sleeve 40 can stretch into a body, in this way, the suture line reserved in the body is relatively short.

[0032] In the technical solutions (not shown in figure) of the embodiments, the knotter further includes a drive portion, and the drive portion is a manual drive portion arranged at the handle. The above structure is relatively low in processing cost. The manual drive portion is a trigger structure. Certainly, the drive portion may also be an automatic drive portion arranged at the handle. In this way, the knotter may be automatically driven, and the labor intensity of an operator is reduced. The automatic drive portion includes a motor, a hydraulic structure and the like. By operating a switch button arranged on the knotter, the motor runs or the hydraulic structure drives. Alternatively, an electric push rod structure may also be applied. It is to be noted that after primary knotting is completed, the driving structure 10 resets under the action of an elastic member or other power element in the handle, so that the scissor 30 recover from the shearing state to the open state and get ready for secondary knotting and line shearing operation.

[0033] The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the disclosure and are not intended to limit the disclosure. Those skilled in the art should understand that the disclosure may have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the disclosure should be included in the protection scope of the disclosure.
